Haha that's so cute! You let your rats roam free? I wish I could do that with my mice, but they poo everywhere and we have cats. Also, they'd hide behind things and we'd never see them again.
I like how "Shutter Monkey" can mean both a monkey in the shutters and someone who takes a lot of pics.

true true....love that double meaning

shes a mischievous rat but for the most part all is calm in the room, she s got her own rat house on my desk where she sleeps in the daytime

Doesn't she make messes? My mice won't stop pooing.

rats will generally pee and poop in certain places and to some degree can be potty trained, and do pee mark...however its not that bad, she never poops in my bed...come to think about it, she poops in her house and the litter stations i have set up in the corners of my room...occasionally (rarely) i may find a poop pellet on the floor but i dont find peep puddles anywhere but in the "bathrooms" i have set up

the tamer mice are, the less they poop, you will find that a very tame mouse that has been handled everyday or frequently will hardly poop at all in your hand...mice, while they will poop trails in their environment, will also usually pee in chosen places such as corners or places that already have urine, so to some extant you can pee train them

Hmmm...I've had my mice since they were born, and they still poo on me. I haven't been handling them as much, though, so maybe they're not used to me.
My guinea pigs were allowed to roam the house when we had them because they were mostly potty-trained, so perhaps I can use the 'toilets' for my mice.

They died a while ago. I'm not sure if we have any pics of them left. They were fairly potty-trained...we had plastic things in the corners and they seemed to prefer those.
